Storage

Security requirements for storage in the cloud encompass measures and practices to ensure the protection and integrity of data stored in cloud environments.

Key Security Requirements for Cloud Storage:

• Data Encryption: Encrypt data both at rest and in transit to prevent unauthorized access.
• Access Control: Implement granular access controls to limit who can access stored data.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Require additional authentication for accessing storage resources.
• Authorization: Define and enforce access permissions based on roles and responsibilities.
• Network Security: Secure network connections to prevent eavesdropping and tampering.
• Data Segmentation: Isolate different data sets to prevent data leakage.
• Backup and Recovery: Regularly back up data and establish recovery processes.
• Monitoring and Logging: Monitor storage activities and maintain audit logs.
• Data Retention Policies: Define policies for retaining and deleting data.
• Compliance: Ensure storage practices adhere to regulatory requirements.
• Vendor Security: Assess and verify the security measures of cloud storage providers.
• Data Lifecycle Management: Manage data from creation to deletion securely.
